We all depend on you posting your images here!!!

Include an accurate description in the title of your posted image (e.g. year, location, event).

Titles should not include personal opinion of a political or controversial nature, this is allowed in comments only, but feel free to speak your mind in the comments.

Titles should include the date of the image wherever possible.

If you choose to put the resolution of the image in the title please use [brackets] to enclose the size information, resolution information is not required, if you want to include it though, [brackets] enclosing it are required.

Old erotica is permissible but must be tagged [NSFW] clearly and identified to the date or era.

Whilst photographs are the primary medium, posters, illustrations and postcards are also permitted, as well as paintings of historic events and people.

We do not allow the posting of videos, articles or other non-static media. Static images only please.

Please do not submit links using URL shorteners such as tinyurl - these links will be deleted on sight.

Please do not post images of family members unless they depict a verifiable historical event or period - if you have an image of a relative participant while in the historical war that is permissible, but an old group photo of relatives without event context is not.

Please do not post images taken or created within the last 25 years. We are allowing "then and now" images as a temporary experiment, so if you want to post an image of a street in WW2 then the same street today that would be allowed for example.*

Commentary or opinion should be kept to the comments section of your post, not the title, we do not censor any opinions, no matter how out of the "mainstream" as long as they are on topic.

Please do not crosspost or link to other verses in your title or comment - this is NOT the place to advertise another verse.

You WILL be banned if you brigade, or try to undermine this sub in a comment, post, or PM.

Rules for Comments

No personal attacks upon others. Feel free to argue about the topic heatedly, you can attack the image, but stay on the topic, the person behind the account posting is never the topic. If a user is bothering you contact the MODS and they will see if rules are being broken.

No trolling this verse with disingenuous submissions.

Be Welcome! Please contribute, comment, and share your interest in history here. The subscribers are the heart and soul of the HistoryPorn verse.

Do not hesitate to reach out to the MODS. MODS are here to serve you !

Looking for Mods willing to be on the frontlines of /v/Historyporn (a 1.4 YEAR old 100% Voat original) against the problems we have faced described below. To apply PM me.

TWO (2) newer subs now, made to duplicate this verse for no reason other than they want to "run" things one at least is lying and using social engineering techniques to contact some members of our verse via PM, comment, or following you to another verse and making a false claim like "It is against Voat rules to participate in /v/HistoryPorn, and you must join their new replacement copy verse."

HistoricImages is a REDDIT TAKEOVER - Please see PROOF -/v/HistoryPorn is a 1.3+ year Voat Original. Why does the Reddit version HistoryPorn mod need to replace us rather than respectfully join the Voat Original?

Below is a PM from another HistoricImages about the latest copycat trying to replace us and that it was made by REDDIT mods who want their control here - and people are falling for it.

You are free to guess at their true motives for doing something like this. After a member here told me what was happening I have asked the person he identified who was sending this message three (3) times politely to stop but they won't.

You may be contacted. Please forward a copy of any message that asks you not to post here, take a screenshot, and save the page locally if you can.

Remember the Only Admins who can make terms or rules are - @Atko, @PuttItOut - when they make rules they sticky them on the homepage for weeks.

This is just a power play carried out in an underhanded way. If you are like me you came here because you were sick of other people telling you what to do and making you follow their opinions because they think themselves entitled. cough Reddit cough

I am doing this to fulfill a hobby and am looking for a trusted partner to share the verse and mod with me. For other people they get off on "power" - these people are about ego and control, not this hobby. They are trying to replace this sub and using dirty tactics.

If you have been contacted in the past and still have the message document it and PM me.

Unfortunately a lot of people took these fake messages seriously and we lost members who were poached by their verse.

I would encourage everyone to increase their participation here in defiance of their attempts to tell you what to do based on lies.

Some really think I do not have proof.

They ask for proof. All of their offenses I know of they have deleted or withdrawn. However I got screenshots taken by myself and others who sent me evidence. I would never have known about this unless an awesome member had not told me. You know who you are - thank you again!

I have politely responded that I want to give the evidence to the admins. I don't like to burn people publicly but am being forced by their denials.

So here is the response to my second PM asking "Please stop harassing my members about a fake rule, its hurting this verse and causing confusion."

Response from people trying to replace us by force and lies and direct person trying to scare people to leave with made up stories -

Look at the dates and times of those two PMs between me and the person engaged in purposefully deceiving our verse above and planning to destroy our wonderful community - confirm it yourself.

Both PIX network and HistoricImages are behind the attacks.

Please look at this post I saw earlier today to prove the problem is site wide as all the old Reddit mods are angry they are not the mods here, or people are angry we are not using imgur, or not using Youtube - just crazy distractions.

Now. Back to the business at hand. 20 million christians wiped out by said communist bolsheviks. Educate yourselves, & pls find and post more stories like these. ARCHIVE TOO. This one is from a comment on a What's wrong with academia and the University System? cucktoob video, comment by Sir Wimsy the Pimpington...

"The Kulaks of Ukraine (wealthy land-owning peasants) were systematically wiped out, millions died in constructed famines. All done under Lenin and his Marxist Bolsheviks. One example of his crimes. Had a college professor who insisted that Stalin highjacked Lenin's and the original bolshevik ideals of Marxism. Turned something decent into Stalinism. Lenin was the "good guy" I proceeded to tell him a story. A story told to me by my Great Grandmother only twice, it still shook her in her old age. She lived outside Kiev on her family farm. When the Reds pulled up to the farm/small town, they proceeded to round up all the farm families/local residents they could find. My great grandma hid in the high bushes watching. They informed the people that a new system was in order, and that patriotic Little Russians(Ukrainians) now had a chance to shake off Imperialist chains. The commissar read off the list, closing of the Churches, land now owned by all of them, new freedom of expression etc...Grandma's friends/family/neighbors didn't look to happy bout this and grumbled and cursed the commissar. Commissar gave the order and they dragged out both the priests, put them on their knees and shot them through the head. Everyone cried out and many began running home. All were blocked(she said about 70 people were gathered) Young men were forced into trucks at gunpoint to join the Army, driven off. Red soldiers pilfered vodka and wine from local stores and began harassing people. It got out of control, and raping started. Grandma told me that they were dragging girls off by their hair back into the little square, even while mothers, old men, and children tried to beat off the men dragging their victims along. So the soldiers stripped the mothers naked and and beat them senseless, and bludgeoned the old men and children. Grandma watched from her hiding place as her best friend (they were both 15) was spreadeagled and gangraped by multiple Soviet soldiers. The commissar urged them on and laughed. Grandma said that one soldier, one who looked the like an older veteran soldier, but only had one rank, stood their shaking and tears were coming down his face. He kept shouting at top of his lungs,"Virgin Mary save me, save them!" Commissar walked over and gestured him to join the soldiers in the raping. He shook his head violently. Commissar pulled out his pistol and shot him through the head. They raised the flag over the town. My grandmother doesn't know anymore. She ran and ran, met another family who were running to. They made the long trek and ended up in Winnipeg Canada. She never knew what happened to her best friend. Never found out. I told this to this professor, and told him that is what Marxism brings. To hell with its lofty ideals. That is its reality. And there is nothing on this earth that could change my mind. I ended by telling him that my Great Grandmother taught herself how to become a painter so she could draw her friends face, which she has and she drew beautifully......the girl was beautiful........I told him, all I need to do is see my GreatGrandmother kneeling before the Icons with a candle and the portrait of her friend to tell me, I will fight to the death before accept Marxism. In the words of Robert the Bruce, "Free man stand or Freeman fall"
